In the fourth round of the Premier League on September 12, Chelsea will test the Premier League newcomer Hull. The guests were one of the discoveries at the start of the season, they have not suffered a single defeat and have never missed out in the championship. Will the aristocrats be able to cope with the defense of an unyielding opponent? - the answer is in our expert's betting tip. What bets should I pay attention to?
Command Analysis
Chelsea
Current form
Chelsea has transformed itself under the leadership of Xabi Alonso. The Blues demonstrate a vibrant attacking football that graces the fans. There are also results. In the Premier League, we scored six points in three rounds. The only misfire happened to Arsenal, which held off the attack of the aristocrats (1:2). In three rounds played, the Londoners scored eight goals, only Brighton can boast the same result. Chelsea is not competing in European competitions this season, and the decent depth of the squad allows them to feel confident in the League Cup, where Alonso's team easily overcame two rounds, beating Luton (2-0) and Leeds (6-3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Henderson, Palestra and Emega will not play due to injuries. Caicedo's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches involving Chelsea, more than one goal has been scored in the first half.
In four of the previous five matches, Chelsea had lost to their opponents by fouls.
Hull became the main opening in the Premier League following the results of the opening three rounds. The Premier League newcomer has not suffered a single defeat, and he has never missed a single one. In the first round, Sergey Yakirovich's team sensationally defeated Manchester United (2:0) on their own field, after which they beat Coventry with a minimum score of 1:0 and parted in peace with Aston Villa. With seven points scored, the Tigers approach the start of the fourth round in third place. Hull tries to completely close in at their own goal and actually relies only on a saturated defense, which has been successful so far. Failed to beat Sunderland in the League Cup last week (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Hull's injured list includes Butland, Gyabi, Hughes, Matazo, Ansa, Morita.
Interesting betting trends
In none of the five official matches since the beginning of the season with the participation of Hull, more than two goals have not been scored.
In three consecutive matches with Hull, the exact score was 0:0 at the end of the first half.
Hull sensationally enters the top 3 in the Premier League after three rounds without conceding a single goal. This result is largely due to the dedication of the players, the closed game in defense, and some luck. It's hard to count on great achievements at a distance with such tactics. This is especially true for matches against attacking opponents. Chelsea, led by Xabi Alonso, demonstrates vivid football, finds approaches to any defense, even managed to score against Arsenal, although in the end they lost. We expect that the guests will not be able to avoid a major defeat today.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win with an Asian handicap (-2) by a factor of 2.00
The Tigers rely only on defense in their game, they rarely even get to someone else's goal. On the eve of the League Cup, Hull failed to open the Sunderland defense, before that Aston Villa did not score. We believe that the guests will remain without scoring goals today.
The second bet is that Hull will not score with a coefficient of 2.07
Betting on corners
Chelsea have six defeats in a row on corners. Such statistics are alarming and give every reason, taking into account the set coefficients, to place a bet on the guests according to this indicator.
Prediction – Hull wins on corners with a handicap (+4.5) with a coefficient of 1.75
xG (from English "expected goals" translates as "expected goals") is the sum of the probabilities of scoring chances, a mathematical value calculated taking into account the parameters of potential scoring chances, which include shots on goal and dangerous moments without finishing shots.
